Code of Ethics

I strive to conduct myself in alignment with Cornerstone Doula Trainings' Core Values

Reverence for Birth

I identify birth as a momentous experience for both the woman/laboring person and their partner(s).

Honoring Choice

I embrace all birth choices with my utmost respect.

Advocacy for the Baby

I recognize that birth is also a vital experience for the baby, during which her/his efforts to be born are celebrated and championed.

Awareness of Cross-Cultural World View

I am sensitive to the needs of diverse families and work with all sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, religions, and gender identities.

Respect for Care Providers

I maintain the utmost professional integrity in all birth settings. I have strong professional relationships with obstetricians, midwives, and nurses spanning across the greater Sacramento area and beyond.

Continuity of Care

I am 100% committed to each family that I work with and ensure that I am available for every birth by not over-scheduling. In the rare case of an emergency, I always have a backup ready to step in that my families have met and feel comfortable with prior to labor.
